Welcome to the APCECE!

The APCECE office will be closed starting June 17, 2024 through August 26, 2024. We have a few spots remaining in our tuition programming and will re-open registration for a short time in August. 
 
Registered tuition preschool students will receive a packet with school year information by the end of June. Screened GSRP families will receive a packet with the next steps to continue the registration process by the end of June. 
 
If you are interested in GSRP and have yet to be screened, please fill out an interest form at the link below:
 
Tuition Preschool:
Our tuition preschool is a developmentally appropriate program enhancing the social, physical, intellectual, and emotional development of three and four year old children. In the 2024-2025 school year, we will be offering both full-day and half-day tuition program options, in a 5, 3 or 2 day a week schedule for children who are age 3 or older by September 1st. Our full day programming is from 8:15am-3:00 pm, and our half day programs run 8:15-11:00 am, and 12:15-3:00 pm. 
 
GSRP:
Great Start Readiness Program (GSRP) is the #1 preschool program in the country. It is a state-funded, high-quality program that is provided to school districts through the county. It is for children who are age 4 on September 1st who meet the eligibility requirements. The FAQ below has more information about GSRP.
 
Early Childhood Program (ECP) - Special Education Preschool:
Our special education preschool classroom is a part of Allen Park Public Schools, and serves a range of students with developmental delays. Students are admitted into the program through an evaluation process, and must have a qualifying Individualized Education Plan (IEP) to enter the program. This is a half day program, that is 5 days per week for preschool students starting at age 3. Please see our district special education page for more information.
